Enoch Light Orchestra Appraisal

The Roaring 20's in Stereo LP by Enoch Light and the Charleston City All-Stars

This item is a vintage long-playing (LP) vinyl record album titled "The Roaring 20's in Stereo," performed by Enoch Light and the Charleston City All-Stars. The record features 'Authentic Arrangements of the great song hits of the 20's in spectacular stereophonic sound,' as stated on the album cover. Physical characteristics include a cardboard jacket, likely 12 inches in size to accommodate a standard LP. The cover art is a vibrant and stylized illustration, characteristic of a 1920s aesthetic. It depicts six male figures in striped suits, seated, and six female figures, also seated, with bobbed hairstyles and fringed dresses, all evoking the flapper era. A large, close-up profile of a flapper's face with a cloche hat occupies the right side of the cover. The color palette is rich with blues, reds, oranges, and pastels. Notable features prominently displayed are the album title in a bold, period-appropriate font, the artists' names, and a tracklist including popular songs like 'Five Foot Two,' 'Yes, Sir, That's My Baby,' and 'Hot Lips.' The 'Grand Award Stereophonic Disc' branding is visible on the left and right edges. The catalog number 'GA 229 SD' and 'LONG PLAYING RECORD NEW HIGH FIDELITY' are printed at the bottom. The cover appears to be in reasonably good condition with some visible wear, particularly a faint circular mark on the upper left corner and minor edge wear consistent with age and handling. This record likely dates from the late 1950s to early 1960s, a period when stereophonic sound was a significant marketing point for LPs. The craftsmanship of the album art suggests professional design typical of the era for record releases.
